A bag wherein in a first mode the mouth of the bag has a perimeter defined by the front panel and back panel and two sides of the bag closure. Strips at the mouth are not configured to close the bag in the first mode. The bag also has a second mode. This allows a second mode opening to the bag's containment region to be created. The perimeter of the second mode opening is defined by the two mutually engageable closure strips.

A woven laminated plastic bag having features that further prevent leakage of contents out of the bag, or infestation of organisms into the contents of the bag is provided. In various aspects the bag can be fabricated from woven polypropylene and/or polyethylene layer which can be laminated with a film layer, can form a pinch bottom bag, and can have one or both sides include graphics and/or printing. The bag can also provide a top end and/or a bottom end either or both of which provide a discrete area which may contain discrete graphics and/or printing. The bag can also include a tape covered easy open feature that facilitates removal of tightly adhered sealing tape.

A tear away food bag includes tear seams, or other features, providing controlled tearing away of portions of the bags. The food bag is suitable for use as a lunch bag, a picnic bag, or a take out food bag. A bottom portion of the bag may be torn away from the food bag to provide a food holder and top portions maybe torn away from the food bag to provide place mats.

A rock bag and method of manufacturing same are provided herein. In one embodiment, the rock bag has a first set of opposed sides, each side of which is substantially the same dimensions, a second set of opposed sides, each side of which is substantially the same dimensions, and a bottom side formed to operatively couple with the first and second set of opposed sides such that the rock bag forms an enclosure with five sides and an opening opposite the bottom side. And the material forming the sides comprises between 40% and 90% rock content.

The invention relates to a folded bag and a method for forming a bag from a square or rectangular shaped sheet, which method comprises the steps of dividing the sheet into nine fields arranged such that eight fields surround a central field; folding the sheet along folding-lines between and across the fields in such a way that the central field forms the bottom of the bag and the eight surrounding fields form the sides of the bag and at least one inner wall providing separated compartments in the bag.

Disclosed are embodiments of a versatile storage bag and methods of making same. The versatile storage bag may have first and second sidewalls, a double-locking closure mechanism with a first closure element extending along the first sidewall and a second closure element extending along the second sidewall, each closure element having a channel and an elongated member configured for interlocking with one another. A double-seal along three sides of the first sidewall and the second sidewall form a gusset between two seals, leaving an opening through the double-locking closure mechanism. Corner seals may be formed at the corners of the first and second sidewalls, further reinforcing the double-locking closure mechanism for an airtight and hence waterproof seal. The versatile storage bag may be made of a food-grade polyethylene vinyl acetate blend, approximately 90% or less ethylene vinyl acetate and approximately 10% or less polyethylene.

A paper bag for e-commerce shipments, which paper bag comprises first closure means for first closure of the bag (46, 49, 123, 127a, 127b, 227a, 337, 337a), tear means (47, 126, 136, 226a, 226b, 336) for opening the bag after first closure and second closure means (45, 48, 137, 137a, 238a, 238b, 338, 338a) for reclosing the bag after tearing the tear means. The paper bag is formed of a paper having specific properties concerning—inter alia—the grammage, the tensile index, the bending resistance and the like for rendering the bag especially durable and reliable in use.

Provided is a gas barrier laminate including: a paper substrate; a layer including a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin; a vapor-deposited layer; and a layer including a polyolefin having a polar group, in order.

A tamper-evident bag seal including tabs for separating flaps of the seal along a perforation is provided. The tamper-evident bag seal may be a paper or paperboard panel that folds over the handles of an existing bag and is secured to the sides of the bag. The tamper-evident bag seal includes a fold having perforated sections adjacent centrally located tabs. By pulling the tabs in opposite directions, the perforated sections are compromised, permitting access to bag contents and evidencing tampering of the bag seal.

A liner for use with a fluid dispensing vessel. The liner includes a flexible pouch defining an interior region and configured to be placed in a fluid dispensing vessel. The pouch includes a top end that is partially sealed and that includes a first opening. The pouch includes a fluid passageway defined by at least two sealed boundaries and that leads from the opening to the interior region. The pouch includes a bottom end that includes a second opening. The liner includes a fluid dispensing fitment connected to the pouch and configured to be in fluid communication with interior region via the second opening. When fluid is poured into the interior region of the pouch through the opening, it can be dispensed from the pouch through the fitment.
